I really appreciate you responding to my posts! I'm a little nervous about going back. I'm confident about the intellectual aspects of returning to nursing, but I'm really rusty on the clinical aspect. Deep breaths, deep breaths.

TWU grad, prices of the courses vary but, what PHES did is include everything. Whereas, the up front price is a little less a few places but, you have to still buy books, get your liability insurance, etc. It is about the same remember this is a speciality area and there are not a lot of students that need the programs which would then allow the costs of the program to be spread over more people. It is a lot of work that goes on besides the actual instructing: just setting up clinical sites is very cumbersome process.
